I’m seeing some interesting things going on with jagger3, my chronological problems seem to have been fixed. Googlebot/2.1 is updating pages that where url only or supplemental, new pages added, old 404 pages disappearing. I have supplemental results going back to April 2004

MozillaBot has probable been on every page twice last week and once this week, not doing – changing anything, Googlebot only 3 or 4 pages a day out of about 600, but see the updates within 48 hours. Home page with a fresh tag every 48 hours.

The biggest obstacle I still see is self inflicted duplicate content; in January I introduced a logic bug into my site, when paging thru products in a category I changed case on the url, now my category page is url, and my bad case Category page is supplemental.

I had the bad case blocked by robots.txt for several months returning a 404, only MozillaBot came to the page. Just last week removed it from the robots now returning a 410 hoping Googlebot will be by soon.

These pages began performing badly in msn and yahoo, but came back to life within weeks.

Am I correct in assuming G has a within the site duplicate content penalty, has any body seen this self-correct, or should I to go beg GG and friends for forgiveness?
